Yami was angrily packing the things he would need to go back to Japan until his room door was opened and three familiar neko's were pushed inside.

"You all will be acquainted here after we get your statements" Seth said sternly as he closed the door

Yami smiled and once the three neko's noticed him they smiled brightly before hugging him. Yugi pouted at all the attention they were giving each other and began to whine. Yami giggled and took yugi out of his crib and carried him on his hip.

"How did you all find me?" Yami said as he looked at the three neko's

"Well you wouldn't believe us if we told you" Jonouchi said as he laughed at Ryou's red face

"Ryou found his true mate but turns out he's a thief" Malik stated in amusement and laughed at the face Yami gave them

"A thief?" Yami said slowly as Ryou nodded "I never saw that coming" Yami muttered

Yugi saw his mother's friends and smiled then laughed at the face Jonouchi made at him. Soon they all talked and played with yugi until he fell asleep. Yami was still angry at Atem for getting angry for things he should've asked instead of letting him explain everything.

"So how did you find yugi?" Ryou asked as he watched the baby Neko sleep

"A man gave my son to the Pharaoh and he must've known that I was near because he caught my scent" Yami explained "I let my instincts take over and attacked the man that took yugi and almost had myself killed before the Pharaoh told his guards to lower their weapons" Yami said as he looked at his friends

"So the Pharaoh took care of you and yugi?" Malik asked in suspicion

"Yes, I only planned to stay for a short while and I'm leaving right after the trial is over and this has been going on for a week already" Yami said with a tired smile

Yami used his hand to cover his mouth as he let out a yawn, the others laughed lightly as they saw their friend's sleepy state.

"You get some sleep, we'll watch over yugi for you" Jonouchi said with a smile

Yami didn't bother to argue, he was indeed tired from getting up early to tend to yugi and late at night to put yugi to bed. Yami walked towards his bed and once he laid down upon it he went to sleep. Ryou placed a blanket over him and began to look around the room as Malik took a light cat nap as Jono stood watch.

~With Atem~

Atem was still a bit angry when Yami didn't tell him there was more neko's in his kingdom but it was partially his fault for not asking if he had company. Atem sighed and ran his hands down his face as he paced around his study. Seth told him about the other three neko's a few minutes before he went to confront Yami.

'I'm such a fool...me and my stubborn self' Atem thought as he groaned

Soon Shimon came in the study and blankly stared at his pacing grandson. He shook his head and used his magic to make a pot of water appear over Atem's head and one snap of his fingers made the distracted royal come to his senses.

"Gah!..." Atem sputtered "What in Ra's name!" Atem said angrily as he glared at his grandfather

"Now don't give me that look...what's troubling you?" Shimon said as he sat on a chair near Atem's desk

Atem sighed but explained the entire situation and the little detail that he forgot to mention to Yami before he was kicked out of his room...literally, Shimon laughed at this but either way composed himself but kept silent chuckles to himself.

"And now he says he's leaving by the end of the day " Atem said as he ran his hand through his hair

"Well by our laws he can't leave until Mazaki is given his punishment" Shimon stated

"Grandfather...he has to, the emperor of Japan is coming in a month and when he does come he'll take the child away from Yami...the reason why he came to Egypt" Atem said sadly

Shimon had no words but he couldn't break Egyptian laws, and this law is what keeps Yami here. Soon they heard a very loud shriek and they quickly ran to find the problem coming from Yami's chamber.

~With Yami~

Yami woke up three hours later to the sound of panicked voices, he got up and stretched and blinked a couple of times to clear his sight. He saw his friends huddled in a corner panicking about something. He got up and walked over to them.

"How do we tell Yami?" Malik asked nervously

"Tell me what?" Yami asked as he made Malik jump a few feet in the air

"Yami!...we thought you were still sleeping" Ryou said as he fidgeted a little

Yami didn't really listen to them as he looked around for yugi but didn't find him anywhere in the room.

"Where's my son?" Yami asked as worry began to flash across his face

"Well you see, Ryou got locked in a closet and we tried to get him out but it took a few hours and once we got him out...yugi was no longer with us" Jonouchi explained quickly

"WHAT!" Yami yelled in worry

Yami started to panic and soon Atem and his grandfather came in along with the other priests to see what all the commotion is about.

"What's going on?!" Atem said sternly as he saw Yami's panicked state

"To put it plainly...Ryou got locked in a closet when he saw something shiny and it took me and Jono to get him out and after three hours we got him out but we lost the baby due to being distracted" Malik said plainly

Atem became protective but he didn't know why, the child wasn't his but he did belong to a worried mother.

"I will lead the search for your son, you may come along as you wish" Atem said as Yami nodded but yugi's scent caught his attention

Yami ran out of the room and didn't know he was being followed by Atem, Yami took twists and turns and came upon two large doors.

"Why did you run to the throne room?" Atem said as he caught his breath

"He's in here...but his scent is faint" Yami said as worry to over and he opened the door and found yugi's toy near the pillar

Yami ran up to the toy and picked it up, he noticed the strange red liquid and when he looked at the pillar he saw a body. He stumbled back but Atem caught him and turned him around to face his chest so Yami wouldn't look at the horrific sight before them.

"Don't look" Atem said sternly but yet with a soft tone

Yami was petrified and burst into tears and after a few minutes the two adults heard a child's laughter and they found yugi behind the Atem's throne. Yami was relieved and cradled yugi in his arms once he reached the throne. Atem smiled at the scene but soon that smile ended with anger when he noticed the Thief King himself.

"Well Pharaoh did you like my gift" Akiefa said as he laughed

"You nearly caused him a heart attack" Atem remarked angrily

"What?...no thanks to saving him and the child, the man was an assassin he won't be missed" Akiefa said as he crossed his arms to mock Atem

Atem raised his brow at this but once he took a closer look at the body he found Mazaki's seal along with the tattoo of an assassin. He looked up to glare at Akiefa but the said man was gone.
